Dell 28XX manual Excluding Addresses

–Days — Specifies the duration of the lease in number of days. The range is 0 to 49710 days.

–Hours — Specifies the number of hours in the lease. A days value must be supplied before an hours value can be added. The range is 0 to 23 hours.

–Minutes — Specifies the number of minutes in the lease. A days value and an hours value must be added before a minutes value can be added. The range is 0 to 59 minutes.

–Infinite — Specifies that the duration of the lease is unlimited.

•Used Pool’s Addresses — Specifies the number of the pool’s addresses that are currently used.

•Default Router — Specifies the default router for the DHCP client.

•Domain Name Server — Specifies the DNS server available to the DHCP client.

•Domain Name — Specifies the domain name for a DHCP client. The domain name may contain up to 32 characters.

•NetBIOS WINS Server — Specifies the NetBIOS WINS name server available to a DHCP client.

•NetBIOS Node Type — A parameter that informs the workstation how to resolve the NetBIOS name. Valid node types are:

–Broadcast — IP broadcast messages are used to register and resolve NetBIOS names to IP addresses.

–Peer-to-Peer — Point-to-point communications with a NetBIOS name server are used to register and resolve computer names to IP addresses.

–Mixed — A combination (mix) of b-node and p-node communications is used to register and resolve NetBIOS names. M-node first uses b-node; then, if necessary, p-node. M-node is typically not the best choice for larger networks because its preference for b-node broadcasts increases network traffic.

–Hybrid — A hybrid combination of b-node and p-node is used. When configured to use h-node, a computer always tries p-node first and uses b-node only if p-node fails. This is the default.

•SNTP Server — Specifies the time server for the DHCP client.

•Next Server — Specifies the IP address of the next server in the boot process of a DHCP client. If the next server in the boot process is not configured, the DHCP Server uses inbound interface helper addresses as boot servers.

•Next Server Name — Specifies the name of the next server in the boot process. The server name may contain up to 64 characters.

•Image File Name — Specifies the name of the file that is used as a boot image. The file name may contain up to 128 characters.

Excluding Addresses

By default, the DHCP Server assumes that all pool addresses may be assigned to DHCP clients. The user can specify IP addresses that must not be used. These addresses are referred to as excluded addresses. A single IP address or a range of IP addresses can be excluded.
